Synopsis "White Fang"
Summary The story begins with the birth of White-Fang, a wolf-dog. The novel follows the pack from which it comes and its first weeks of wild life, its struggle for life: eating or being eaten. Then he experiences life among the Indians; His master is called Castor-Gray. He meets other dogs and becomes an enemy with them, Lip-lip being his rival. But White Fang, proud and powerful, undergoes the wickedness of white men; In reaction, he becomes a fierce fighter. The story then becomes darker when it is exchanged at Beauty Smith against alcohol to become a beast of combat. Despite his many attempts, Castor-Gris refuses to take him back. He wins every fierce duel until the day he has to fight with a bulldog named Cherokee. While he is seriously wounded, two men stop the fight: Weedon Scott, a mining engineer, and his friend Matt. White Fang is thus gathered and saved from the ill-treatment of this "crazy man". Thanks to the patience of his new masters, he discovers "love" and "friendship" between a wolf and his master. One day, an intruder named Jim Hall wants to attack Judge Scott, the father of Weedon, and Croc-Blanc defends him despite his many injuries. He is cared for and ends his days in the company of Collie the bitch Scott and their numerous family.
Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
